This fundraiser is for the Emerald Hills Neighborhood Council.

Since we no longer receive funds from the Jacobs Center, it is up to the community to support itself.
The Neighborhood Council requests $20 per household per year for membership.

This helps pay for our meeting space at  Johnson School, annual community picnic, annual community holiday dinner, upkeep of the Emerald Hills Pocket Park on Kelton Road, and for expenses related to our ability to keep up with the City Council, SEC, Police Drive Alongs, neighborhood code compliance Drive Alongs, helping senior  neighbors and those in need with minor  outdoor issues, etc.



Please, Tell a neighbor!

Water Bill Issues?

Having issues with your water bill?
First- Learn how to read your water meter


H2ouse.org : Resources : Read Your Meter
http://www.h2ouse.org/resources/meter/index.cfm
Check for meter leaks here:
http://www.h2ouse.org/action/details/action_element_contents.cfm?actionID=F56F50F2-34E3-4095-9A919C304D945B5F&elementID=FCC1BED3-B2D1-4253-A3D07864BBA98629

Check your toilets for leaks.
http://www.h2ouse.org/action/details/action_element_contents.cfm?actionID=F56F50F2-34E3-4095-9A919C304D945B5F&elementID=5812B5A5-E0BE-4D14-A202C8DAE8CE491F&parentPage=Take%20Action|/action/index.cfm
Even a silent toilet leak (that’s one you normally can’t hear) will waste from 30 to 500 gallons of water per day! The ones you can hear will waste much, much more. Such wastage can normally be attributed to a faulty water level adjustment or to a leaky flapper.


Are your faucets leaking?
Look at these stats:

Estimated faucet leakage rates
Drips
60 drops per minute = 192 gallons per month
90 drops per minute = 310 gallons per month
120 drops per minute = 429 gallons per month
Stream
3" stream = 1,095 gallons per month
6" stream = 2,190 gallons per month
9" stream = 3,290 gallons per month
For more detailed leakage analysis check out the WaterWiser drip calculator.
For information on how to repair faucet leaks see the faucet repairand faucet maintenance pages.


Next, check your sprinkler system.
